Birth injuries can occur during pregnancy, labor, or delivery when medical professionals fail to follow proper procedures or respond appropriately to complications. These injuries can have lifelong consequences for the child and create significant emotional and financial burdens for families.

Medical negligence during childbirth can result in various serious conditions, including:

• Cerebral Palsy: A neurological disorder affecting muscle coordination and body movement, often caused by oxygen deprivation during delivery.
• Erb's Palsy: Damage to the brachial plexus nerves controlling arm and shoulder movement, typically resulting from excessive force during delivery.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Brain damage caused by insufficient oxygen supply during birth.
• Shoulder Dystocia: A birth complication where the baby's shoulders become stuck during delivery, potentially leading to nerve damage.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Trauma to the spinal cord during delivery, which may result in partial or complete paralysis.
